However, rumors of the death of <a href="http://warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/Karl_Franz">Emperor Karl Franz</a> have been exaggerated. More details have come to light since then; <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/electronic-arts">Electronic Arts</a> contacted MMO blogger Tobold, and <a href="http://tobolds.blogspot.com/2008/10/emperor-karl-franz-lives.html">set the record straight.</a> <br /><br />As it turns out, Destruction didn't fully capture Altdorf. Rather, they put it in a contested state, and the would-be conquerors on the Destruction side were ousted by Order before they could complete enough public quests to reach the final battle against Emperor Karl Franz.<hr />
